i have had my civic for a while now and i was wondering if it is ment to be like this or if its broke. the only way i can lock and unlock my driverside door is to use the key. my remote doesnt lock or unlock it but it will lock the passenger side.... so help???

Do you get any buzzing noises from the drivers door or any movement at all from the top lock **** when attempting with the remote ??

What about with the drivers door closed and using the lock/unlock button on the door ??

nope no buzzing or movement. it acts like i am not doing anything at all. then i cant push the **** down when the door is open either. i really have no idea what it could be. but it pisses me off cause i want the clicker to work.lol

Not being able to push down the lock when drivers door is open is normal Honda operation.

You will need to measure to see if voltage is making it to the actuator or not.

ok good and i'll have to do that. cause i think that is the problem but idk. i sure hope the locking thing aint broke all together.

Note: on the drivers actuator there are 2 sets of wires present, YEL/GRN & YEL/BLK are the wire colors for the actuator lock/unlock motor. The other set of wires (3) are for the status switch.

The pulse used is very short you may want to set the meter for a lower voltage scale and watch meter closely.

yea, you're door lock actuator is busted if you cant lock it with the remote.

yea you can try the wire test but its probably the door lock actuator. mine is broken as well (hence the note at the bottom of my signature picture) and i havent fixed it because it costs way more here in canada at a dealership than it does in the states. at least you live in the states and you can get the whole actuator assembly for a decent price.
